Kalmar Cup result rules clarification

Regarding the event of a drawn cup match, the rules state. In the event of a draw in the Kalmar Shield or Cup between two teams that have exactly the same grade points, the winning team is decided by counting the board numbers of the wins i.e. if you win on board 1 you get 1 point, 2 pts for board 2 etc. The team with the lowest combined points total as described wins, if those scores are the same do the same calculation but with defaulted losses counting as +1, if they are still equal after that then the team with black on board 1 wins. So by my reckoning, Culcheck have won the match as they have won on two of the top three boards, resulting in a lower points calcualtion. Culcheth points --> 1 + 3 = 4 Northwich points --> 4 + 5 = 9 (the drawn game on board 2 does not count for anything)

claification to result

Based on emails received, Culcheth win on having lower grade total, Culcheth quoted one of their players too highly by mistake. This was corrdcted on the evenign verbally and agreed between captains. I misread the rule I quoted earlier, It was only if the grades were the same that the boards got calculated. nonetheless, Culcheth win and go through to the next round.
